I am probably in danger of repeating myself here, but Jesus gives me something to look forward to. In a world where justice seems far away for many, with widespread war and poverty, I know that one day - I do not know when - things will get better.
One day, Jesus will return, having already done so much good from his first visit, arriving as a humble baby in Bethlehem just over 2,000 years ago. Tears will stop, there will be no poverty or illness or fear. The righteous will be rewarded and those who willingly distance themselves from God will get their own rather different reward.
That is what keeps me going and stops me despairing at the news.
Merry Christmas to all my readers.
